SAA Notes
Mark’s account of the Temple curtain is given in a way that would tell most with Romans – as witnessed by the Centurion’s testimony. The torn curtain showed most effectively that in Jesus’ death and abandonment sin had been atoned for in a most remarkable and eternal way.
SJA Notes
* Dear God, thank You for Your word that teaches us we must be saved, and that we must be saved through and only through Jesus.
“Aha! You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself, and come down from the cross!”
It shouldn’t come as a surprise the lengths people will go in order to stay secure in their blindness.
We see stubborn hearts and blind eyes clearly today as we see them back at the hill called Golgotha.
People walked past and shook their heads at Jesus!
The King of Kings – Made a mockery as though He was of little importance.
“Aha! You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself, and come down from the cross!”
How thankful we can be that Jesus chose to save us instead, to die on the cross, be buried then rise again – The true heavenly reality, temple rebuilt in three days.
Instead of saving Himself He saved us.
* Father God,
Please open the eyes of those around us we pray, may Your King grow, Your word spread around.
Please continue to save and sanctify Your people Lord.
Amen.
